A benefit of riding with the club is there is always someone to ride with, even when I don't feel like it. I'm always glad when I finally get on the bike. If I get tired of club rides I go solo or with 2 or 3 friends.
Another thing is when I get tired of road rides I go off-road.

I used to do a lot of events but now I am very selective and only do the ones I know are going to be fun. I have a lot of base so I can get ready for a century pretty quick.
